Fart can took a shit!

[dmc6996]

I get pulled over last night in Hoffman on Golf west of Barrington Rd. says im following too close to the car in front of me and he said i flashed my brights. total bullshit! it was 2 am and he wanted to check me out. so right away i said " i wasnt too close and i never flashed my brights. i get let off (for doing nothing) but before he leaves says " fix your muffler." I know its loud because its a turbo back 3" without cats.
so i looked at it today and this is what i see.

so anyone think they can fix it for me? i need it for a few more months until i can get a P&L catback. shoot me a price to weld it back up.

I would stay away from the fart cans. You should look into purchasing a grapefruit shooter.

I can tell you from the spot and the type of metal that it won't weld well. You would be better off with a metal band around the muffler and the hanger welded to that. It's just going to break again, even faster next time. The surrounding area is already cracked...and the welding heat will make it worse.

Doesn't someone make a band for those type of mufflers? All you need to do is find one and I can fix you up. I could make one for you, but it would probably be cheaper to find a premade one.

do you weld the band to the muffler aswell to make it seal better?

 

[Ron Vogel]

do you weld the band to the muffler aswell to make it seal better?

I wouldn't, probably make the hole bigger.

 

[Runtz52]

it looked like a stainless steel or maybe polished aluminum can, which from what i heard welding both is a bitch. so im gonna agree with ron find band weld hanger to band, good luck with getting it fixed

 

[GLIKENNY]

damn man that is shitty!!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

fart can needs to go

 

[dmc6996]

If anything, take exhaust tape and tape that shit up mad tyte yO! You're changing it anyways so it won't matter ..

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

The cheapest solution is to run open down pipe lol!

 

[X91EVO]

isnt hks mild steel anyway??

That would be a relatively tough weld with a MIG, but doable, and shouldn't fatigue if you anneal the HAZ after welding it. To do it right though, you need to get it welded with a TIG using stainless filler to get a decent weld.

It's definitely doable though, with the right equipment. On a little cheapo MIG though, it would be a challenge.
